I’m leaning towards the FPV.
Tougher looking and the FGX will always be associated with Fords half arsed last attempt that could be mistaken for a Mondeo.
Historically its usually just been the GT/GS nameplate pair with some one off specials along the way still pulling the numbers long term.. ...

My long term bet would be on a unmodified manual GT-F grocery getter...

To the OP, if you have time and patience i bet you could snag a sprint in the low 60's soon - it just has a little bit more exclusivity than the regular XR8 and will likely hold some value long term as the very last of the Falcon v8's

Except this one, not sure why it’s so much cheaper.
